Nintendo 64 Revealed at E3 1996
First, apologies for not updating the site more. On top of my regular duties, I've been working on reviewing some games, namely various versions of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010, and if SEGA ever responds, maybe Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. That said, I...
TMNT: Smash-Up Review Now on Kombo
At long last, following numerous interruptions, distractions, and other things getting in the way, my review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up for the Wii is now available on Kombo.com. And boy, is it a doozy. I think it would have been better served had it...
Boy Obsessed with Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!
Here's a little gem that was made back in 2007, but only found its way to the pages of GoNintendo earlier today. It's a fun little look back to what it was like playing (and trying to get) video games on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 80's, as Alex...
Scorpion vs. Donkey Kong
This won't end well... So, think you can beat his time? --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Miz: “I’m a Casual Gamer, and I’m Awesome”
Upon arriving at the hotel for the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 review event two weeks ago, THQ had left itineraries of what to expect. And there was one item of particular interest: a "Creation Workshop" in which we would create a wrestler in the new game and have it...
Tons of New Super Mario Bros. Wii Stuff
Wow, I never imagined that so much stuff surrounding the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii would surface in such a short time. But what better place to start than the intro, which shows how Peach gets snatched, as well as how the new power-ups get scattered across...
R.I.P., Captain Lou; We’re Gonna Miss You
What a whirlwind the past seven days have been. Wednesday, I fly out to LA to check out WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010, which I do on Thursday, flying back early Friday (arriving well into the evening), and then meeting my dad at the airport for Thanksgiving on Saturday...
How Games Were Marketed 31 Years Ago
Sorry the updates have been sparse lately, folks, a few things going on, and it will get worse before it gets better. Working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up for a review, I have to go check out WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 later this week, my dad is coming up...
The Original Power is Back
Well, this was a bit unexpected. For some time now, the fate of the Power Rangers franchise has been uncertain, with the strong possibility that Power Rangers: RPM, the 17th and current iteration of the franchise, might be its last. But, that may not actually be the...
Video Games That Display… Turtle Power!
The year 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the fab four green teens known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (remember, they were the stars of indie comics for a while before being made into a cartoon and... well, everything). And for the vast duration of the...
The Legend of Zelda Theme, Now With Lyrics
Sorry I haven't been posting much, lately. Seems I have too much to do, too little time, and not enough energy. Bleh. I'll try to get some stuff up this weekend, but for now, here's BrentalFloss's latest video featuring lyrics for a classic piece of game music, The...
Tubin’ – 9/23/09
A few fun videos of note from GameTrailers today... First up, a pretty solid review of Contra ReBirth. Video Games | Contra ReBirth | ReviewXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo WiiScrewAttack's Video Game Vault adds a game I have some fond memories of: Art of Fighting....
Case Closed: Wrapping Up Ace Attorney 3
I have finally finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Whew, I need a break before I tackle Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. And then there's Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth coming soon, too. I'm assuming that Apollo is par for the...
Happy Birthday, Charles Martinet!
A few days ago, on September 17th, Mr. Charles Martinet reached another birthday milestone, and to my regret, I neglected to post anything here to commemorate. However, I am now making amends, albeit in a belated fashion. "But who is Charles Martinet?" you might be...
Don’t Copy That Floppy… 2
These days, it seems like everything is getting a sequel or a remake. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rambo, Rocky, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, TransFormers, Batman, Alice in Wonderland, Terminator, and so on. And to join in the fun is the sequel to that 1992 anti-piracy...
Sorry, but…
I simply could not help myself. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Amazing Spider-man vs. the Raping Rapscallion?
Actually, it's not a new supervillain who has people up in arms over the latest Amazing Spider-man story, but rather an old one who has returned in the "Brand New Day" continuity. In case anyone's forgotten, I'm really no fan of this weird retconning of Spider-man. In...
“WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?”
The wife and I went to see WWE Raw earlier tonight, and getting home, I've been a bit tired, and wasn't sure if there was anything I could add tonight that would be worthwhile. And then I remembered that yesterday was the birth of a new meme: The story behind this is...
I Expected That as I Got Older, I Would Lose My Memory, But Never Like This
Argh! So today, I copped out on digging out and hooking up the Dreamcast to celebrate its 10th anniversary by playing the GameCube equivalent of Sonic Adventure 2 and Crazy Taxi on the Wii (I may play the real DC next weekend). It could either be karma against my...
My Weekend with the Aliens
My weekend thus far has not been particularly eventful, in the truest sense, but I have noticed a common thread running through what I've done so far: aliens. Friday night, I gave Contra ReBirth (purchased Monday, of course) a go on Normal. And, lucky me, I managed to...
